About me

Our First Meeting

During our first meet we will discuss and agree how we can best work together, the frequency and duration of the therapy and desired outcome, whether that's just wanting to feel better in some way, or something more targeted. This will then form a kind of contract which we will base the work on whilst reviewing it periodically. Usually sessions will be held on a weekly basis during the same time slot each week.

If this is your first time in therapy, or you are unsure whether I am the right counsellor for you, I offer a free phone call ahead of booking anything face-to-face, whereby you can ask me any questions you may have and vice versa. Just drop me a text, email or call and we can arrange something.

About me

I am an experienced, psychotherapeutic counsellor. I am trained in Transactional Analysis (TA) psychotherapy and I am also currently working towards an MSc at the Metanoia Institute. I integrate other approaches such as mindfulness or CBT where appropriate.

I have lots of experience working with relationship issues, anxiety, depression and work related problems, although this list is not exhaustive (please see below).

I work on both a short and long term basis. This involves me working with the you to create a relationship which is supportive, strengthening and empowering. I provide a safe and confidential environment to help you make meaning around where you may feel stuck, in order to progress and develop in life, exploring relationships, behaviours, thoughts and feelings that may be getting in the way of happiness, or causing confusion.

I adhere to the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Code of Ethics and am a member of this organisation. I am also a trainee member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).

I have done a lot of work in the field of mental health and the workplace. I have trained and coached the Met Police, armed forces, NHS and numerous private sector clients around improving their health and wellbeing to live happier, more balanced lives in todays world.
